Ashleigh plumptre making the team of the week was a good sign to the super falcons 🇳🇬

[quote author=Odogwujayy post=124988401][/quote]

Come on now u are saying oshoala never jumped but how did Michelle Alozie get her one on one with the keeper? Didn't Oshoala contest for the ball by jumping before it landed with Echegini? Every single time the ball came into the box she jumped but the problem was the crosses weren't good enough.

Ashleigh Plumtre may be heading to France according to Tim Stillman.

If true, hoping it's one Lyon or PSG. PSG preferably so she can pair with Nicole.

Her name is Ashanti Akpan. Half Nigerian, half polish. Plays for Chelsea and wants to play for Nigeria

At the level she’s right now Any Club other than Lyon, PSG, Paris FC, Fc Fleury 91, Montpellier HSC and maybe FC Bordeaux in France is a no no for me….

The Midfield Maestro Who Caged Lauren James
Meet Halimatu Ibrahim Ayinde🇳🇬

"Give a single assignment to the Midfield Maestro, Halimatu Ayinde - Cage the Lionesses' star forward Lauren James,"

Defensive midfielder, Halimatu Ayinde who also plays for FC Rosengård did a spectacular job of resisting anticipated firepower from Lauren James who was expected to be the huge creative force for the Lionesses.
Ayinde ensured James was kept in her pocket throughout the game, with no breathing space until she saw red.

In an outburst of frustration for being kept quiet and marked out throughout the game, the Lioness switched position to get some breathing space from Ayinde but equally met an ever ready Alozie who was on hand to serve the same breakfast.James then maliciously stood on Alozie (in protest) and was deservedly punished by the VAR.

Ayinde successfully executed her project of caging James’ creative edge and whatever mean/aggressive act by the latter can be traced to our Midfield Marshall who has largely been underrated in this tournament.

She showed us all pure class and will do well with taking man-marking masterclasses. I sincerely hope the younger ones are learning from her.

Nigeria celebrates you Halimatu Ibrahim Ayinde.

Hope say she sabi ball.. If she truly wants to play, they can start by inviting her to the U-17 or U-20 depending on her age.

Baba small small. Any source to this assertion. We aren't unfamiliar with her, just do a simple search you'll realize she's been mentioned here a couple of times.

About her desire to play for Nigeria, I doubt it's true unless there's a worthy source.

It wasn't a direct replacement substitution now. But you saw Michelle Switch to the LW role, didn't you. Ordega coming in wasn't to directly replace Kanu. Those subs were changing the formation straight up.

As for weaker vs Better, I'd say the removal of pain did that more than the time Ordega came on. The long balls were terrible and that's where i missed Payne and Ayinde. As for her performance after replacing Kanu, I'll say it was okay but for a fresh leg, i expected more more from her. Infact all the subs fall my hand.

Dave, Michelle wasn't playing as a LW....She played as a LWB ( She was just Super high up the Pitch )
The formation was 3-4-2-1 ( Order started as the RWB but eventually went central and Ajibade went to the RWB position )

Ohale_____Demehin______Plumptre

Ajibade_______Christy_____jenni_______Michelle

Ordega____Desire (Toni )

Oshoala

I'd love this...But I'll stop at Lyon and PSG...maybe Paris FC. The other ones aren't really that exciting. ( Problem with Lyon is that they still have Wendie at Ashleigh's favorite position...LCB and she'll likely play any minute she's available for )

I saw somewhere that Arsenal Ladies want her too…

At PSG she should get game time, maybe pair with Dudek, Amelda

Then it became more confusing to anyone, especially as Ordega was everywhere.

Deltamani:

Yeah definitely, she'll get more playing time and a starter at PSG (Even at Lyon, but less so )....but that club seems very dysfunctional even at female level. I saw the Arsenal link as well, but it seems to be just Arsenal fans wanting her more than anything else...(no concrete links, yet).

She could make a very good replacement for Rafaela ( She's better than Lötte and Williams is still injured...So Arsenal will have Amanda and Her starting ). I wish she could sign for Chelsea to replace Magdalena ( Sentimental reasons 😂😂) but they seem stacked at the back right now

daveP:

Bro, I wanted to cry seeing the confusion amongst the players...they had no idea of what to do with the ball once they got it...

The Ordega and Ajibade move was head scratching ( I guess it was done because Ajibade is better beating her marker on the dribble, but we could have just overloaded that wing since Daly who was playing LB for England isn't a Specialist defender and stick 2 Attackers in their box since we decided to go route one )

BascoVanVeli:


Randy made the English coach look like a youtuber for 90 minutes but he lost his ways during extra time. To keep it real and I know some won't like this comment but he made bias decisions at the end. He didn't just want to win, he wanted to win with "HIS" players. We have to remember the NFF blamed the players he brought in for the WAFCON loss and this would have been a perfect I told u so. I can't get mad at him because he is only human. The work he did with setpieces alone will always make him ok in my book.

What crap is the bolded? A coach with so-called world class players could not defeat a team with 10 ladies for more than 30 minutes of play yet you identified him as a coach. Jamaica or even Morocco could have defeated England in such situation. The fact remains Nigeria went to the world cup with sleepy spectators instead of players. The only light on Nigerian side is Plumptre maybe honorable mention of Ohale, Nnadozie, Ucheibe and Kanu is pardonable.

Are you a football agent? Which match did you watch? If Ucheibe was somehow unable to play, England would have defeated Nigeria soundly.

Osasu is hosting a Twitter spaces and Ngozi Okobi is speaking (Rita Chikwelu is also there).

Again, ill advised.

She's already saying things she shouldn't say.
How do you say (imply) Toni Payne isn't up to your creative level yet?

She still say many things she isn't supposed to say.

I wonder if you were abreast with my post before quoting, This post was majorly for Halimatu Ayinde who did an excellent job policing Lauren James..!

England would have defeated Nigeria Soundly and nothing happened till 80+ they got a red card.

Maybe na England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 vs Niger 🇳🇪 match you watch
